The best stage piano you can get in my opinion. The piano samples are the most realistic on a stage keyboard i have ever heard, great versatility - mixed with great pads and organs.

Mr Samuel Duke Ofori-Boateng29th May 2020

This keyboard was bought for my son's birthday and he really adores it. He loves the hammer action of the keys, position and functions of various knobs and bobs on the keyboard. It is easy to switch various functions on/off and mix voices and various options of the synthesizer makes it a joy to play.
